Vantaggi

The staff is full of great, dedicated people that come to work every day because they're passionate about the cause and the environmental movement as a whole. Their efforts are wasted however, due to neurotic and incompetent leadership.

Svantaggi

I'll preface this by saying that on paper, this was my dream job. In reality it was an absolute struggle to remain in this position for 6 months. I ignored the negative comments on Galssdoor because this seemed like the job I'd been working toward. I also ignored the numerous red flags throughout the interview process. I am trying my best to remain professional while writing this. That is difficult, because the president and vice president of this organization are condescending and unstable; they cultivate a cruel and nonsensical working environment on a daily basis. You are never given direction. You will be a scapegoat frequently. You will be be demeaned, belittled, and criticized. There is no strategic plan. There is no organization. There are no achievable outcomes. The board is ignorant and uninvolved. There are dubious work practices, bordering on the illegal. If there's a published Earth Day event somewhere in the world, EDN claims it as their own. That's their justification for declaring 50,000 partners in nearly 195 countries. Did you know there's an organization that is "in-charge" of Earth Day? No one does, and there's a reason. You will regret taking this job.

Lots of real-world writing and research experience, and opportunities to focus on personal writing passions. Loved that I could do the internship remotely.

I do not have any cons.

Vantaggi

The biggest pro for me working at EDO was they were very flexible on my working hours. I never felt scared to ask for time off if I needed it, and they were always accommodating. I did not interact with many staff members, but everyone I did was nice and helpful. They genuinely seemed to want to ensure I was happy with my internship and getting out of it what I wanted.

Svantaggi

There is limited structure to the actual internship, which means it is up to the individual to make the most of the opportunities in front of them. For me I felt I was able to do that, but I know for many people that is a much harder challenge and may leave them feeling dissatisfied. All of my work was almost entirely independent, especially because the position is hybrid, which meant work did get monotonous at times. You can get college credit for it, but the internship is unpaid, which is less than ideal, especially if your college makes getting credit for internships difficult. Lastly, this is probably not going to be an internship that changes your life. It's a great first internship for an undergraduate student, as EDO hires a lot of students each semester which makes it fairly easy to get accepted, so it can boost a student's resume to get even more prestigious internships. On the flip side, that also means staff cannot get to know you that well, you feel kind of replaceable, and the experience you gain during your internship may not be super unique.
